- "Really it's Middlesbrough versus Preston, it's not Bobby versus Jack."
The Charlton Brothers, Bobby and Jack, are English football royalty. Both enjoyed illustrious playing careers - Bobby Charlton with Manchester United, Jack with Leeds United - and together, they won the 1966 World Cup with the England national team.
Now retired from playing, they have both entered the competitive world of football management. Jack Charlton is the manager of Middlesbrough FC, and Bobby Charlton has taken the hot seat at Preston North End. This weekend the two Second Division sides meet in the league, and BBC News visits the siblings to see how they feel about their first meeting as football managers.
As it turned out, the match (originally due to take place on Saturday, 1 December 1973) was postponed due to an unplayable pitch. The rearranged game eventually took place on Tuesday, 11 December 1973, with Jack's Middlesbrough team emerging 3-0 victors.
Clip taken from the Nine O'Clock News, originally broadcast BBC One, Friday 30 November, 1973.

Best years we had..supporting man utd and Jack managing Ireland..thanks and r.i.p to both
Jack's personality was much more suited to managing than Bobby's. Jack seemed to be much more of a people person, had much more charisma although I imagine Munich would have had a profound effect on Bobby's personality.
Don't think Munich made.much of a difference. Even as a kid Bobby was known to be reserved and shy.
@@sanjay9793 Didn't make much of a difference? At 20 he lost all of his best friends in an instant but somehow went on to win everything in the sport without them by his side....most people in that scenario would give up on life, forget ever picking up a football again. It battle-hardened him and elevated his desire to win for them...because they would have done the same for him if it had been the other way around. Yes he made history with George Best and Denis Law but don't think for a second he was anywhere near as tight with them as he was with Duncan Edwards, Eddie Coleman or Tommy Taylor......that was a brotherhood
A time when the managers sat on the bench throughout the game, with maybe a grimace if they were at the wrong end of a refereeing decision or a fist pump when a goal went in. None of today's histrionics and berating the 4th official.
My mum was mad on Bobby, she wanted to be him.
Score was Middlesborough 3 Preston 0 in case anyone else was curious.
Goals from Graeme Souness, David Mills, Bobby Murdoch
Thanks!
Running up and down the terraces for training - there is no way health and safety would allow that now 😂
Jack mastered the combover better than Bobby.
Yes… but Jack had more to play with.
Jackie Milburn, Jack Charlton and Bobby Charlton...Ashington's finest. #neverforgotten #legends
yes indeed
@@TheIkaraCult don’t make them like that anymore
Intriguing shots of Deepdale back then - I remember watching from those stands 13-20 years later. All gone now, of course. I remember them as rickety and dilapidated even back in 1986.
This was a match that was postponed because of snow. Finally played on Tuesday 11 December.
Brilliant, when football was watched, played and managed by honest, working class people.
how much would a 2023 young bobby charlton be worth..........he was a classy player
RIP Sir Bobby Charlton (1937-2023).
Watching the documentary Bobby was never same after Munich. Very understandable losing your best friends at such a young age. Considering the tragedy he survived it is amazing the heights his career reached. RIP Englands greatest ever player
The Charlton brothers they don't make them like that anymore rip Bobbie & Jackie 💚🇮🇪🍀☘️🏆
Sounds like a tuff man .
A true gentleman first and foremost.
Nicely put at the end there.
Boro defiantly got the right Charlton brother for management. I was just thinking about this meeting of brothers as managers last week in anticipation of Carrick V Rooney at The Riverside. Tragicically ironic that Bobby's death was announced at half time.
'defiantly' ffs!
What has Carrick vs Rooney got to do with a meeting of brothers?
No nets in Middlesbrough?
What was the score ?
3-O to Boro. Souness scored one of the goals
With Bobby and Jack I always saw a classic case of introvert vs extrovert. Bobby was quietly confident, could zone out and eliminate all distractions around him, very much like Ronaldo...discipline-wise was out there on an island by himself. Led by example. But unfortunately, that style does not translate well to managing a team.....
Beautifully done
Great footballer. A real symbol of England. That’s have it right though, Bobby was a cantankerous, stubborn, bitter man. He divided his own family after all. Perhaps he never truly got over the disaster of the combover and who could blame him. Rest in hairpiece- I mean peace 🙏
